Try 785-363-2458 at Waterville Ks. Gary Schroller is his name, and he'll treat you very fairly.

Take it to a machine shop and get it pressed straight. Worked well for me.

Try Darwin Gingerich, Moundridge KS, (620) 385-0071. Odds are he has several. Very reasonable.

I had the same problem with my 1950 A a few years ago. I was surprised but the local JD dealer was able to have a new shaft in the next day. I remember the shaft, power trol seals, snap ring etc. for the transmission seal, pump gasket and the whole works wasn't all that expensive. It was nice to have a shaft without seal grooves and it's alot better for the #5 mower. Gene

According to my parts books, the late 'G' and the late 'A' use the same shaft.
A4124R (old number) is now # A4566R for both models. Might make it easier to find.
